Wide Temperature Range Integrated Bandgap Voltage References in 4H–SiC

摘要

Three fully integrated bandgap voltage references (BGVRs) have been demonstrated in a 4H-SiC bipolar technology. The circuits have been characterized over a wide temperature range from 25 degrees C to 500 degrees C. The three BGVRs are functional and exhibit 46 ppm/degrees C, 131 ppm/degrees C, and 120 ppm/degrees C output voltage variations from 25 degrees C up to 500 degrees C. This letter shows that SiC bipolar BGVRs are capable of providing stable voltage references over a wide temperature range.
